She is, therefore, always, woman-like, a lover of young men, because they are less cautious, more violent, and with more audacity command her.”

The real key is in how a person see himself (humility), how he feels about what he does (passion), how he works with others (unity), how he makes others better (servanthood), and how he deals with frustration and success, truly learning from each situations (thankfulness).

And the highest enjoyment of timelessness―in a landscape selected at random―is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants.
